URBAN COMMONS: Co-creating Sustainable and Inclusive Neighbourhoods

Developed through the Rosa Lab Living Lab and a range of real-life projects, the programme explores how residents, local organisations, public

authorities, researchers and private actors can collectively shape the future of their territories while contributing to the stewardship of shared urban resources.

Urban Commons focuses on the resources that support everyday urban life — including public spaces, energy systems, biodiversity, food networks, mobility infrastructures, local knowledge, cultural heritage and community facilities.

Through citizen participation, collaborative design, placemaking, urban storytelling, digital innovation and environmental awareness, the programme develops practical and replicable approaches that strengthen neighbourhood identity, social cohesion, local capacities and ecological resilience.

Acting as a common framework for initiatives such as Domaine Public, GR19, Smart Grid to Smart Citizens and Terroir Urbain, Urban Commons contributes to more sustainable, inclusive and participatory neighbourhoods aligned with the values of the New European Bauhaus.
